We obtained a dismissal with prejudice on behalf of a pair of Canadian physicians in a serious and complex international medical professional liability action. A Pennsylvania resident, working on an international assignment in Canada, fell ill and was taken to a local hospital where she was attended to by our clients. The plaintiff was discharged and instructed to consider care in the U.S., which she did. It was alleged that our clients sent the plaintiff's Canadian medical records to her treating health care providers in Pennsylvania. Five months after the plaintiff had received care and treatment in Canada, she suffered a rare form of stroke. The plaintiff contended that our clients did not appropriately diagnose or treat the plaintiff forthereby misleading and misdirecting subsequent treating health care providers in Pennsylvania. The court agreed with our evidence that sufficient contacts with Pennsylvania did not exist to justify imposition of personal jurisdiction over our clients via Pennsylvania's Long-Arm Statute.
